In this case because of alleged irregularities the bonding $ company declined to keep his bon<d in ^orce and he seems tjj have been un dhle to get bondsmen after being | Tgiven thirty days to do so. For this ^ reason*- the Governor issued i pro clamation removing him from office . ftiyt. made an appointnscnt of the iorrter sheriff. But the removal did ?~ltbt remove. The sheriff sticks on. l -y lh all this we are not particularly in ; terested, but this thing has been go "on for a number of years, and , *Would seem that there was a suffi S cient amount of legal talent in the legislature to pass a law making a ^ Temoval valid.

Butter Making The following is s. summary of steps in making butter on the farm j (taken from the July Issue of the Southern Agriculturist). 1. Good butter , making depends on having clean, high-quality milk and cream to start with. Cool the cream immediately after it comes from the separator. Clean and sterilize all utensils. 2. Ripen the cream at 65 to 76 degrees F. until mildly sour. Al_ ways use a thermometer in order to know that the right temperature is reached. 8. Cool the cream to churning temperature or below, and hold at tfllttt imitppi afcuro fon at leapt two hours before churning. ' -27 4. Use a churning temperature ? usually between 52 and 66 degrees F. ?that will require 80 or 40 minutes to obtain butter. " ?; 5. Clean and scald, the churn, then halffill it with cold water and re. volve until churn is thoroughly cool, ed, after which empty the water. 6. Pour the cream into the churn through a strainer. 7. Add butter color ? from 20 to 35 drops to a gallon of cream ? ex. cept late in the spring and early Irj. the summer. '' 8. Put the cover on tight! revolve the churn several times; stop with bottom up, ? and remove stopper to permit escape of gas; repeat until no more gas forms. ; 9. Continue churning until butter granules are formed the size of grains of wheat. .. 10. Draw off the buttermilk through the hole at the bottom of the churn,' using a strainer to catch particles of butter. When the but. termilk has drained out, replace the cork. 11. Prepare twice as much wash water an there is buttermilk, and- at about the same temperature. Use the thermometer; d6 not rrv?8# water into the churn with the butter. 12. Replace the cover and revolve the churn rapi/dly a few times, then draw off the water. Repeat the washing with the remainder of the water. 13. The butter should still be in granular form when the washing is completed. 14. Weigh the butter. 16. Place the butter on the work., ft and add' salt at the rate of three., quarters of an ounce to a pound ot butter. ? . .. : 16. Work the butter until the salt Is dissolved and evenly distributed. DO Hot over work. 17. Paclc in any convenient form for home qm, or make into 1 pound prints for market, wrapping the but. ter in white parchment paper and In* closing in a paraffined, carton. 18. Clean the churn and all butter making utensils. f .. tftoNRY D. GMBBN, Co. Agent. ???"? * ? ? ? l*arg?N*wap?p*r CoIIm?U?? ?

"When the English were *" , making their first lot of armed tanks, the secret was closely guarded. The Germans sent, a beautiful woman spy to England to dig up the secret. She made the acquaintance of a young English office* who held a very im portant office in the War Depart ment, and who knew the secret of the tanks. He became infatuated with the woman spy. ( She encouraged him to drink, and while he was in a maudlin (condtion, she wormed out of him the , secret of the "tanks"; then she left him. The English attack .on the Germans, instead of ending the war, resulted in the gaining of a few miles of territory only; Sober, the yjoung officer never would have divulged his country's plans to ahy one. Introduce the average "pussonal liberty" guy to a beautiful womas and a bottle of liquor, and a wreck inevitably follows. The "pussonal liberty''" guys are causing, so man>yi automobile wrecks, J that the auto manufacturer^ are be coming worried. Driving js becoming such a dan gerous pastime, that the demand fo/ cars is falling off; the manufactur ers fear that such drastic laws will be passed by the different states, that the auto industry will be destroyed. Every community has its little coterie of "pufcsonal liberty" guys meaning guys who object to any re strictions on their actions, ? Avho noisily, complain about the laws, etc. The result is always the same. They gb to such extremes, that they de | stlroy, or have cancelled, whatever j little liberties they, and everyone else, are entitled to. I The bent thing to do with 'em in hitch 'em to a limb and let em bray. Liberty, my dear readers, means: "The state of being exempts from the domination of oth?rft, ot from re stricting circumstances". One of the meanings of ^'liberal" Jst "tJndulyi free; licentious." Li centious means: dissolute. License ji|?ft?)s: "Unrestrained liberty of action." [ -"pei-Aon*! JtbeYtf** crowtfc jt. wAulrl be Wi to have them explain to *ott just what they mean by that term. Remember alwayu thatUbe Hnglltb language 1? V&cf ffifxlblei The 'N*?t crowd- know# that; no do politicians. Affair* of State bear heavily cm poMt&fatt* /just (baforo election up B Afore lending your *apport to the condition, very aptly described as one of ^innocuous dessuotude." Ger man# have played "heck" ?with the Smith? ^Ra.8kob ? (Ritchie ? Roosevelt program. . Every, time that bunch of <'Wetw Saints get" a movement started, somebody crowns it with a bung Starter^ and they have to begin all over again. The Germans haVei crowded the Hquor question clean off the front pages. If it ain't the Ger mans^ it's the Pope and the Italian 6o^rnmentrV \ ' . Vanity 14 the sister of ambition; Vanity demands a place in the "spot light"; ambition places ( her there. There is a surprisingly large number of people who crave power, even if it ori)y? a little power; anything to draw attention their way. The French Goverjunent recognizes this' streak of vanity in human nature, and as it cannot furnish enough jobs for the "spot lighters", they overcome that difficulty by pinning decorations on their manly breasts. Pull off any kind of meritorious stuff and the French Gbvemment- will pin on a decoration. It takes a lot of ribbon to make 'em, but it is cheap at that. The "spot lighters" get the attention that their souls crave, and everyone is satisfied. Yeah, it is very preva lent among politicians in this land of the free; especially little politi cians. If you' don't believe it, send one to the legislature and watch him rear. Yeah, you also find 'em in churches, lodges, etc. Some people expect to be as well i entertained at the churches as they are at the movies. To be successful a preacher must be a go<*l entertain er. - God has set no time limit for our worship of Him in the churches. The congregation did that for him; in the event that you do not know that limit, I will inform you: It is~ exact ly one hour; no more, though it can be. less. " A vice investigating committee in New York City has reported that vice conductors there, are worse than they have been in 15 years; and "Al" Smith- said:"Tammany is all right." Yeah, "Al*' is a product of Tammany Hall, and is also the peerless leader of us democrats. j I offer this suggestion to the churches all of you, hesitate to tuYn any one out of the church; suppose you make a roll- of all inactive mem hers, and place the ? names of the drinkers and those of easy morals, etc. on that list. In fact placi every one on the list, who acts as a drag on the church for any cause what soever. That leaves only; the aetive members on the regular roll.. Get them all together in an. old time prayer meeting, and keep 'em there until they get a dose of the old time religion. Then turn Jenf loose on the inactive sinners. Then your church wiQ begin to grow. Remember two things : Anybody can be an active, hard worker in the church, and still have very little religion. No church (member can have mfich Influence with non members, .-when the non members know that the church mem ber is guilty of the same sins as tho non member.- Get right and stay, bright. Start home training. There are loose "nuts" in most of ou families. Tighten up on 'em; the grown 'una should be the first to b-3 tightened. ~ NOTICE Notice is hereby given that Ore undersigned English Branham n.id George AWrich, Executors of the Es tate of William Branham, detcec.jjd, will on the 15th day of August, 1981 file with the Probate Judge for Ker shaw County their final return, and will on said date apply to tho Court for a discharge as said Executo ENGLISH BRAJNHAlI, GEORGE ALDRLCH Camden, S.
